Put new shocks on the 98. The ride is nice! Currently working on the 94. Got the front done. I'll have to tackle the rear later this week.

Replaced the TC extension housing and seal, rear drive shaft U-joint, and pulled flares and trimmed my fenders. Wish there was more time in the day to mount the 33s. Having some driveline vibes with the front one pulled and the new u joint in the rear, i bumped up the front suspension but left the rear untouched? Maybe leveling it out made the rear at a steeper angle?

The price was right, it's loaded, and we desperately needed a vehicle since her LJ was totaled.

On another note, I guess that means my relationship is over per salad's quote in my sig

Yep, everybody was fine. Long story short, she hit a guy's truck cause the car in front of him slammed on his brakes in a 60mph intersection. Legally speaking, it was her fault, but even the guy she hit blamed the car in front of him.

The insurance company gave us a $4,800 repair estimate, which was great cause she has full coverage. But the bank wanted it totaled, so they "reevaluated" damages and added $8k to the bill. Of course, it was parked for five months due to transmission failure, and this happened a exactly a week after I installed a brand new trans...

I could've fixed everything in a parking lot for $2k, but we don't have any cash to buy it back

New JKS ACOS, RE track bar, 2inch Rough Country shackles, and Rough Country extended steel brake lines. All on top of a previous 2inch procomp es9000 lift and RE short arms. Alignment comes next (and 33s around tax season if all goes well) wow this made noticeable turning improvements and solid lift 3 inch lift. Very please with the outcome, can't wait to accomplish more of this project!

4.7L V8 (not HO), 545RFE trans, heated leather seats, power sunroof, adjustable pedals, 10 disc changer with the Infinity system, tow package, and a 3" OME lift with Bilstein shocks and JKS quick disconnects, riding on JK takeoff wheels and tires. And it has 70k miles.

Didn't think I'd buy a stock one, did you?
